Does anyone have the birth date and death date for Le Petomane. I know the years were 1857-1945, but I can’t seem to find anything more precise. Thanks.

Translation by Warren Tute[/ul]Evidently his death records were lost in the post war confusion.
He was buried in the cemetery of La Valette in the Var departement so send some Paris Doper to check out the grave.
